RFC Epic

This extremely good minimod would just have been updated for the BTS version. If you really want to know. I just uploaded it (I'm still using Filefront for right now Rhye).

I only updated BtS right now because I need some testers for the UHV conditions of Egypt and Mali and any others who need to accumulate a certain amount of x by trun y. I cannot simply double the values (although that might work for Egypt with culture, it could be disastrous for Mali with Gold). So i need someone to test things out and see how much of x they can get by turn y on average, and from there I will determine what the new values should be.

I chose BtS because it is what most people have voiced a desire to play, and because it has all of the civs. I will update the others later once I get the information I need, don't worry. ;)
 
AWSOME!!! this is like the best news I have heard so far today. :)

Edit - Downloading now and I just can't wait. I will play both Egypt and Mali for you, but I am not very good as peacful goals so how much gold or culture I can produce might not mean much do you. :)

Edit 2 - the world builder saves are not set to open with rfc epic but to the normal rfc game.

"ModPath=Mods\Rhye's and Fall of Civilization"
 
D'OH!
I'll reupload with a fix. If you want to fix it yourself you can open the world builder scenario in notepad and add:

- EPIC
to the Mod Path.
Thanks Kairob!

And don't worry, even if you were the worst player ever we would still need a lower bound :)
 
I got a mission in the events to build 12 chariots and its kind of distracting me from culture. However it did make me think, are the events easier with the higher spead?
 
Probably, at least anything involving building units. Overall with the exception of Settlers I lowered the unit cost. (IE< instead of doubling the cost of units for the new speed I only multiplied the cost by 1.75 instead of 2.00)

I felt this was valid because I do not think I increased the enforced peace period length, so there will likely be more wars, meaning more casualties.

I'll have to take a look at the events, completely forgot they existed.
 
I tried a game as Egypt but in my quest for culture I kind of neglected my armies and when Rome declared war I only had 3 warriors to try and fight them off with! :sad:

I tried a game as rome afterwards and was increadably impressed as I founded Christianity 2 turns after 25bc, which is pretty f*cking close!
I have a new stratagy tips for rome players too, I got open borders with greace and invaded egypt first before invading Carthage by land. Also the Great Wall only protects one continent! :sad:
 
I am not sure, I either get distracted with the military and get very little or I forget about the military completly and get invaded. :( I will have another go and try and make sure I finish though ;). Could you tell me which turns the years represent though? in case I dont have calander as the time...

In the mean time I got a bit distracted making a historical start for the Romans, the civs included are;

The Carthaginian Empire is a large and sprawling trading empire; few troops but a strong navy and possible mercenaries.

Greece represents the loosely aligned city states of the period; with their deadly Phalanxes you will need to be smart and act quickly to overcome them.

Egypt represents the Ptolomy Successor state and has spears from their Greek cousins and Axemen from the south as well as chariots. They too will not be a pushover, owning land in much of the Eastern Mediterranean.

Persia represents the Seleucid Empire, they are not much of a threat despite their size as they are surrounded by enemies and have their own internal problems.

The Mauri Empire in India centred around the Indus is growing into a strong Eastern power.

The Chinese states are feuding amongst themselves and are remaining ignorant of anything West of the Himilayers.

Any advice on city names or things that you think should change would be welcome. :)

p.s. I hope this is ok with you Vishaing...
 
Uhm...Yeah, noobish question here. When I try to play France the autoloader thing stops at 20 turns remaining. I haven't tried any other countries. Any ideas?

EDIT: This is 600 AD Start.

EDIT EDIT: So I decided to play as Greedce from 3000 AD. They loaded fine, but the year display's wrong. It shows January for each year, next turn it's blank, then february again.
 
strange, I'm checking it now.

however I can assure you the game still runs how its supposed to, this is just a bug with the interface.

I haven't tested the 600AD france thing, but the 600AD start always was a little screwy with epic.

EDIT: stranger still, I loaded as the Egyptians from 3000 and gave myself Calendar, no problem.
Very curious.
 
EUREKA!
I think I know what the problem is. It doesn't deal with civ, it deals with time increment. I just played a bit as Persia, and after about 5-10 turns I noticed the problem wasn't happening any more, but months were no longer being displayed at all. i think the problem is when the turns go by with a fraction of a year involved the game code doesn't know how to handle the month part, likely as a side effect of Rhye's work with making Calendar display the years.

I won't be able to work on it till I get back from work later today, but i think i know how to fix this.

I still haven't looked at the 600AD start though...
 
Well that problem was easy, the wrong dates that is. I accidentally had an extra 2 in the CIV4GameSpeedInfos.xml file. I'm uploading a fixed file here, put it in your XML->GameInfo folder to fix that problem.

The date disappearing thing I still haven't fixed.

Is anyone else experiencing it?

EDIT: @ Kairob: Feel free to make historical starts. With the longer spawn times of the epic calendar I'm sure they will be more than welcomed.
 
Is this version of rfc epic include all the improvement of the last rfc version?(world war etc)
 
I am finally back and I think my computer is finally working like it should:D.
Although through the chaos of my computer being fixed I lost about ten days worth of downloads so I think im gonna find a high speed connection and download everything later.
 
This RFC Epic is updated for the latest version of RFC. so It has the world wars.

And its good to be getting my followers back :)
